The break line is a fantastic but potentially dangerous area to hunt. Best done in a calm sea, walking in the break with your waterproof pulse induction detector can allow you to hunt some areas which are only uncovered briefly. Be sure to bring your long handled sand scoop as there is no way you'll be able to dig by hand.

Have you ever found as trove of lead fishing weights? Picking them up and disposing of them properly is a fantastic way to be a good steward of the hobby. But wait, there's more! Lead and gold are very close in density, if the ocean has churned up and spit out some lead weights, chances are, if there was gold nearby, that was churned up as well!

Hunting around fire pits can be lucrative as well. This hunting takes some patience as there is often much trash in these areas but that is often a deterrent to other, less patient, TH'ers.

And don't forget! Clean your coil! Salt and other minerals are abundant in sea water. After the water and sand is long gone, these minerals are left behind on your coil and in the cover and can cause significant interference. Remove your coil cover and wash both in fresh water after every beach outing.
